Aladdin 

One of the most notable stories from One Thousand and One Nights, “Aladdin” is a Middle Eastern folk tale that follows one boy who enters a world of magical wonder. With the aid of a genie in a lamp, Aladdin must escape an evil sorcerer and save the beautiful princess before dark forces prevent their happily ever after. Edited by the Irish writer Grace Rhys and published in the 1890s, this enchanting tale captures the Victorian fascination with Eastern exoticism and mysticism.
